Care & Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and increase the service life,
clean your unit. Tap-water contains minerals. When the
water is heated to a certain temperature, there will be
scale on the heater or surface of the unit. The SPECTRUM™
Immersion Circulator should be cleaned after after every
20 uses or after 100 hours of work time; however, the unit
may require more frequent cleaning, depending on the
volume of production or due to water in your area.
We suggest changing the water after each use and fill with new
water before each use. Reusing old water will cause the mineral
in the water to scale on unit components, thus affecting the
performance of the unit.
Allow unit to cool to room temperature between water changes
and uses. Placing a hot unit into cold water may cause damage
and effect the performance of the unit.
Should reduced circulation discharge capacity be
experienced, components have become dirty, please
disassemble the stainless steel housing to clean inner
components.
